I'm sure that someone here has had this chore.
I have a yard with several depressions because of poor initial grading and / or the decay of tree roots or stumps under the surface....at least that's what it looks like. My intention is to have some top soil delivered which I will spread around to fill these depression and holes and make the yard a bit smoother. I currently have a box blade and a FEL which was invaluable in resurfacing my gravel driveway. But for what I want to do are these implements the right ones to be using? I see value in a rear blade or perhaps a landscape rake but are these something I should consider for these topsoil projects? Let me say that I do not want to spend the money on a land plane so take that out of the equation. I do realize how efficient they are but that's quite a bit over my budget. What I do is for my own property maintenance.
If anyone has done what I am planning I would appreciate any and all advice. And I do know that this is the place to get it.
